Sunday 2011-08-29, family activity Circus Brazil Jack!

We had a great time! I was surprised by how entertaining Oliver seemed to find it despite his young age. He watched the whole thing without moving an inch, spellbound..

Saturday 2011-08-27.

I took my bike downtown and met
up with my oldest friend Hanna to have
brunch together in the sun. Here we are
in Humlegården.

We had a lot to talk about and even
a fun and surprising piece of news..!

As I got home I took Oliver out to
play with Adrian. Never to miss an
opportunity to be in the sun!

Adrian and Oliver, fishing for toys..

The evening was spent on Lidingö
again since we were celebrating Ingela's
birthday with the annual fermented Baltic
herring-party.

Erik and I.

Friday 2011-08-26.

After work I took Oliver out to play.
He ran around a lot until he fell and sat
down on his bum and waited for mom
to pick him up..

He waited and waited, the comfortable
guy that he is...

Luckily for him, Olivia was around
to help him get up!

Olivia loves to cuddle but Oliver was a little preoccupied..

It was little-Erik's second birthday so we went there to

celebrate him in the evening. Here he is waiting impatiently

for his present to be ready.

The boys are cruising...

First day of work under my belt and I am finally back at home with my boys!

Playtime!

Mmm sand.. why does it taste so
funny?

Wohoo, running!

Some more walking (sorry for the upside down part..)

Oliver walks!!!

As of August 13 he walks all by himself. In an 

unguarded moment he just let go of the coffee table

and started to walk, 11 months and one week old. <3

Fish spa!

Yesterday I spent a little time with
myself and had a fish spa pedicure.
It tickled a lot, was fun to watch and
gave me super smooth feet. So great!

"Reading".

Oliver LOVES his new magazine and
wants me to read it over and over again.
We talk a lot about the pictures and
about the story too, and he enjoys to turn
the pages by himself. He is such a big little
boy now!

Visit to Oliver's kindergarten to be.

Unfortunately it is not the one I wanted him to attend, but the preschool teachers seem to care about the kids so I hope he will like it there even if the premises may not be the most stimulating ones. I wanted Oliver to get into one of the private kindergartens here in Frösunda, but it is insanely hard to get in due to the massiv surplus of babies and the deficit of preschools in the area. Anyway, Oli is starting on the very day he turns one because I am going back to work. I have such anxiety for this. If I could choose, I would stay home with my baby a little longer and not put him in some institution where I have no control over what happens to him. Instead I have to stash away my feelings in a far-far corner of my mind and go to work first thing tomorrow (Erik is on paternity leave for another two weeks so he will take care of him until it is time). Yay.

Definitely feeling better..

I have had some trouble with blogspot for a couple of days since none of my posts have been uploaded, so I do it the old fashioned way and go to my computer instead of using the useless "smartphone". HTC Gratia, no gracias.. 

Recovering.

My whole family has been feeling a little under the weather lately. Oliver caught a double sided ear infection, Erik had a fever and I a sinus infection.. triple whammy! The past two weeks haven't been very fun but we are at least getting better by now. On this picture Oliver was so tired that he took a spontaneous powernap on Erik..

Friday night at Sturecompagniet with Catrin!

It has been 2,5 years since last time I went out, so it
 was long overdue. I had a blast!

any ice cream, it was from Pelivan and freshly made
that day!
